Nine feet!

Key memories from Hurgada - lots of water and swimming, lots of food, crazy service, apple flavoured sheesha and good bye to 2007. It was Thomson II’s first time and we all loved watching her – the initial ‘I don’t feel anything’, ‘Oh, now I get it’, ‘My head is spinning’ and the final ‘Nausea!’ But the highlight of Hurgada is going diving. After the initial euphoria of the thought that I'm going diving died out, the next step was actually donning the wet suit and jumping. God, was I petrified! What if I jump and I don’t come up again! What if he doesn’t see me signalling that I want to go up! What if sharks come and eat me up or worse, eat him up – well, the last was of course the over-imaginative me. But, it was a simply awesome experience. The fish, the corals and the achievement of 9 feet! I’ve said it before, I say it again – the beauty of creation leaves me speechless.
